Glow-in-the-Dark Puma Bike to be Available in Spring 2008

This upcoming spring, Puma will release the Puma Glow Rider, the third version of its Urban Mobility city bike line and the first with a glow-in-the-dark frame that is certain to attract attention.

The Puma bike has a single gear, includes an integrated wire lock system for safety, disc brakes, anodized silver alloy rims from Jalco, and a carbon steel chain. It's also part of the recent folding bike trend that we've followed for over a year. But its key selling point is that it glows like Slimer, especially if it is left out in the sunlight all day. The bike will probably be really easy to see at night, especially when combined with its regular head and back lights. But what's the best thing about its availability? Hopefully, fewer ill-fitting reflective safety vests on old sweaty bikers.

There's also a 100% chance that this bike will appear in Kanye West's latest tour, called (we’re not making this up), The Glow in the Dark Tour. Kanye gave a shout out to the Puma Bike in his very own blog, and did so with an honest sentiment: 'I’m posting anything that glows.'

The Glow Rider is expected to be higher than its predecessor’s $1600 price tag.
